The Most Overrated Wrestler Ever...

[5th Letter]

There are 2 categories of overrated

The first category is who the WWE likes to force upon the fans as great even though you know it's nothing but propaganda.

Triple H and John Cena

Then the next category of overrated is who the die hard fans love to tell you is great.

Ric Flair and Mick Foley

Ric Flair and Mick Foley

You really think Ric Flair ain't great? Have you ever seen matches from his rivalry with Ricky The Dragon Steamboat? His matches with Macho Man? His matches with Dusty Rhodes? He's the definition of an all time great. Storytelling and match quality at its finest.

And I think you seriously misunderstand the legacy of Mick Foley. Foley isn't known as a great wrestler. Foley is just well respected by the fans and the industry as a whole for being willing to put his body on the line night in and night out for the fans. No one calls him a great wrestler.

Flair was a great wrestler but overrated to me, and I think Foley fucking up his body has given him much more praise than he deserves.

Ric Flair was horrible knly cuz his prime was in the 80s. By the 90s all his memorable matches were carried by other great wrestlers and he was basically living off mic skills and who he was in the 80s.

Foley fucking up his body is the reason he has the respect he has. Someone who's willing to go that extra mile time and time again all for the fans

Art Barr for me. I would read about him long before I started tape trading, and I just don't think anybody could have lived up to that hype.

not just for the fans, but to put wrestlers over

rock

triple h

orton

edge

hbk

foley allowed these dudes to beat the hell out of him during their matches, and in return the violent shit he did to them made the audience take these wrestlers seriously as a legit threat when they won

plus foley was always a great promo

Here's my top 5 most overrated wrestlers:

Goldberg - if his matches went more than 5 minutes they were a snoozefest. He had no charisma, he had a cool persona and that's it. He wasn't even a good champion. He beat 97% of the WCW roster and it got to the point where it was just lame.

Hulk Hogan - boring ass matches, he was passionate but his matches were boring, his mic skills, gimmick and WWF's marketing machine were what made him so successful. Aside from that tho, you never hear him mentioned in most wrestlers' top 10 lists. Hogan was/is a terrible wrestler. He's even worse than Cena.

Lex Luger - big, buff and dumb as a rock, he had no ring skills, barely any athleticism, and the WORST gimmick. The Narcissist ? Get that shit outta here SMMFH. He barely even had a moveset, european uppercuts, forearm smashes, mudstomps, a body slam, or power slam, military press and the torture rack SMMFH.

Kevin Nash - if you breath, his legs go out SMMFH LOLOLOLOL. He had amazing mic skills but no in-ring ability at all. The quintessential 5 moves of doom example, he had a sidewalk slam, the uppercut, the big boot, the Jacknife Powerbom and the hair flip LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. How Nash was able to get to the top of the food chain in both promotions lends credence to the fact he was as swarmy and charming socially as they come.

Mick Foley - his matches were only entertaining because he got his ass beat every night in the worst way. Shit if I wanted hardcore tho I'd just go watch ECW. He had multiple title reigns too, no hate just being real. He made harcore wrestling a staple in the WWE but the WWE used him as a pawn to get one over ECW and stop ppl from watching it.

Scott Steiner - Just in-ring GARBAGE. Funny on a mic but no in-ring skills at all, the super steroids shit was a terrible gimmick. Somehow this nigga got like 3 world championship runs in both WCW and the WWE. This fool had beach blonde hair, he shouldn't have been allowed to wrestle. Again he was another example of a swarmy dude who could politic but in the ring he was HORRIBLE.

Yo you need to catch this fade talking about my nigga lex luger

 

[vageneral08]

*waits for the triple h hate*

 

[ghost!]

Easily Bret Hart. Just because he is soooo dreadful on the mic but his matches are GOAT

nig wtf you mean? you and that other dude that said HBK need to be shot on the spot!

 

[DOPEdweebz]

Booker T in ring wise. Can't remember most of his matches outside losing to Triple H and the best of 7 series vs Benoit in WCW.

 

[south4life]

Kevin Nash to me was overrated, he didn't have any memorable matches to me

 

[Beefer77]

Edge

 

[JohnBlackwell]

Not quite getting this new found Chad Gable love. Maybe I'm missing something though?

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

chad gable is just startin out, still developing, just give him time. i like what he's shown so far tho

 

[jimprophet]

Lex Luger

 

[Chi-Town Bully]

I remember when they tried to make Lex Luger into the next Hulk Hogan with the whole Lex Express gimmick and that shit flopped hard. I can't lie I was hype as fuck when he made Hogan submit and won the WCW title on a Nitro only because I hated Hogan only for them to give it right back to Hulk 6 days later

 

[Mister B.]

Gotta be Sting. Fuck Sting.

Man, look: Fuck YOU. Sting held WCW the fuck down in the late 90s.

Hogan easily wins this debate. Everything post nWo has been bullshit. Super Cena comes in 2nd, tho.
